Caradoc leads Sir Parrik, MikMek and Bariq into the Graypeak Mountains in search of the fire giant sorcerer's ruined tower and Karg the manticore, but they are attacked by a wyvern in the night and struggle to drive it off as it keeps driving a poison-filled stinger into them!  They end up lost in the mountains and discover the entrance to a hidden shrine of Dumathoin.  A new Gray Render is found and bonds with Caradoc, and the party makes it back as far as the Hidden Lake Delve.
